The Voyage of the James Caird, re-do



Sometimes you eat the bear and sometimes, well...the bear eats you.

So I was drawing the next set of pages for the Shackleton story and I realized with horror that, though the pages were turning out ok, but I was no longer pushing myself--I was in a morass, a comfort zone, if you will. Concurrently, I been reading up a bunch of Krazy Kat and the more I read the more embarrassed I became about my own lack of imagination, or better said, my laziness in drawing forth my imagination.

So, taking inspiration from Herriman I have redrawn the first page of The Voyage of the James Caird. I hope you like!

Read the first version, or read the first story that I drew about the real-life adventurer, Sir Ernest Shackleton, PATIENCE CAMP.

This is more full of.. foreboding and feeling.
No sound effects though.

Cripes! You are correct! I just re-read it and it seems wicked quiet. Perhaps I shall add :"ripple ripple" and "yaw yaw" for the deluxe ed.

Seriously, thanks for noticing that. I'm gonna ponder on it!

Looks greeeeeeeat! But how can you say you lack imagination... or rather that you are lazy at drawing forth your imagination! No way dude... no way.

Thanks A! But I'm dead serious that I was geeling too complacent. It don't feel like art unless I'm taking a switch to my own behind!
